Methodcast 17 - How to Make a Sliced Solid and Wireframe Rendering With Your 3d Model

Here's an example of one of those stylistic renderings of 3d models where there's a combination of solid and wireframe halves coming together at a section cut in the model. I've been doing this type of rendering for a long, long time and I thought I'd make a video showing you how to do it too. It's a fairly easy process that involves your 3d modeling program and an image editor like Photoshop. Once again, this is one of those things you can do in…

    Methodcast 16 - Four Ways to Get Inside Your 3d Model

    by Method Training

    Uploaded

    Sometimes when you're modeling a project the size of a building, you need to be able to get inside and focus on objects obscured by the outer geometry. In this video tutorial, I show you four ways to get in there so you can do just that. This is something Bonzai3d and FormZ are really good at, and you can apply these techniques to other 3d modelers like SketchUp and Revit as well. After watching this Methodcast, you'll be able to use one or more…

    Methodcast 15 - How to do Interior Cove Lighting in Artlantis

    by Method Training

    Uploaded

    In this quick tutorial, I show you how to setup an interior rendering and make cove lighting possible in Artlantis. There is no tube-type light in Artlantis, so I show you how to cheat by making a tube out of geometry and applying the Neon Light Shader to emit light from the object. The model I'm using happens to be from Sketchup, but you'd set it up the same no matter what your modeling software is. I also cover how to apply and manipulate textures…

    I use both, but BZ more and more. It has tons of tools that SU doesn't and that's pretty much why I'm using it. I like the solids better than surfaces too.

    I see that you are now using Bonzai3d over previous Sketchup. Do you feel that it has marked improvements over SU and would this be the one to recommend for basic modeling.
    Thanks
